Exodus 32: ”Now when the people saw that Moses delayed
to come down from the mountain, the people assembled about Aaron and said to
him, “Come, make us a god who will go before us; as for this
Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what
has become of him.” (NASB)
Hello,
As we come to football season, we come to the time in life
where the backup quarterback is everyone’s favorite player! We don’t like what
we see from the starter – performance is off, too slow to develop, doesn’t make
smart decisions – and we are ready to pull them out and put in the backup. We
don’t seem to have much patience for those out their performing. We have our
way that we believe things should be happening –and anything less is assessed
quickly and judged.
This is what Israel decided they wanted – but not only did
they want the backup for Moses, but they wanted to fire the coach too! We have
to stop measuring our satisfaction with God on terms related to human
timetables. All that does is leave us frustrated. His timing is not ours. If
God wants to move quickly, He will. If God wants to take more time, He will.
That decision we are able to ask Him to change – but it is His decision. Just
because He is not moving in the time or at the pace we would prefer doesn’t
give us reason to look for the backup, or try to get the coach fired.
Have a blessed day,
